Psalm 8 - New International Version, 2011 bible

Psalm 8

¹For the director of music. According to gittith. [12] A psalm of David. [1] LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.

²Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

³When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

⁴what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? [13]

⁵You have made them [14] a little lower than the angels [15] and crowned them [16] with glory and honor.

⁶You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their [17] feet:

⁷all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild,

⁸the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

⁹ LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
